                                                    Two hours every morning, with coffee,  we would wake up to an eclectic assortment of YouTube music videos played very loud on Steve's pro sound system.  For decades watching news was our main staple until the collapse of the 2020 presidential election, the collapse of our judicial system, the corruption of politicians from both sides, corrupt news reporting, the charging owo and lately covid- the greatest evil against mankind since God's creation. Steve just wanted to be free of over-reaching authorities and feel the sun on his face and wind in his hair as he drove us on his bike to the beach.
